Join the fight for the open internet

What's next?

On June 11 regulations protecting net neutrality ended. But Congress can still reinstate net neutrality rules by passing a resolution to disapprove under the Congressional Review Act (CRA)—requiring bipartisan cooperation and approval by the president. The Senate took the first step, voting 52-47 to disapprove.

Discharge petition in the House

218 Representatives must sign a discharge petition to force a vote in the House to disapprove of the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality regulations under the CRA. The goal is within reach: check out the scoreboard.

Support net neutrality, globally and locally

In the U.S., at least 35 states and many municipalities have enacted or have pending actions to protect net neutrality. In California S.B. 822 would establish the strongest and most comprehensive set of net neutrality protections in the U.S.

Why it matters

We know what’s at stake with the rollback of net neutrality regulations: an internet protected from discriminatory practices of ISPs like added fees, censorship, and blocking or slowing down website traffic.

A slower, more expensive internet isn’t just inconvenient. It impacts how individuals and organizations around the world innovate and ship software. Here’s how recent FCC Commissioner Clyburn puts it in her fact sheet:

[This proposal] threatens innovation at the edge, by allowing broadband providers to charge tolls to access their customers. [It] enables offerings that favor the vertically integrated broadband provider’s own content and services over those of consumers and innovators who rely on the internet to grow their own businesses and stay informed.
